Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...
